About MV Doulos Phos

MV Doulos Phos is a retired ocean liner, and former cruise ship, that held the record of being the world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship, serving from 1914 until December 2009. She is now owned by Eric Saw, director and chief executive of BizNaz Resources International Pte Ltd in Singapore. She was previously operated by the German charity Gute Bücher für Alle (Good Books for All), and was used as a floating bookshop and missionary ship. The ship has previously been known as SS Medina, SS Roma, MV Franca C, and MV Doulos. Doulos ended her final cruise in late 2009 at Singapore, with the ship being handed over to her new owners on 18 March 2010. The ship underwent a three-year conversion into a luxury hotel that saw the ship mounted on dry land in nearby Bintan, Indonesia, and opened in June 2019.
